I am reaching out for someone who I know will not reach out for himself. My partner, who is the sweetest, most generous, joyous, selfless and hard working human I've ever met, has had his home of the last 13 years suddenly sold out from underneath him, along with a 50% increase in rent from the new owners which is now forcing him to suddenly have to move, along with his two cats (which he treats better than he treats himself.) For some, this situation would be an enormous financial emergency only, but for my partner, this is just another hard unfair hand of cards dealt to him, another reminder that at least in his mind, he is alone. My partner has no family to offer any aid, his father left him and his younger sister under the care of their mother who suffers from multiple mental disorders and has been hospitalized/unable to care for her children since my partner was the age of 9. He raised himself along with his little sister. He has never had the security or comfort of a permanent home, or family, he has a lived a life of constant struggle, housing evictions, and trailer parks. Now, fast forward all these years later, he is a hard working carpenter for a New York film and television union; building a modest life for himself and remaining kind and generous in the process.. but despite working long grueling hours everyday for the last 13 years, life happens, and he has had numerous major financial emergencies this past year, and is now unable to come up with the money to handle these next housing hurdles alone. More about my partners recent struggles, his best friend, his pet cat for the last 20 years, sadly passed away after endless attempts to keep him with us, then, his truck which was his baby and necessary mode of transportation, was plowed into by someone, and after deciding to pour over 12k of the insurance money into repairs, it then crapped out on him completely, forcing him to then have to purchase a new truck entirely... To further paint an accurate picture of why my partner is such an angel human, even having to wake up at 4:00am to drive an hour to work his 12 hour shifts, he still manages to feed every duck, squirrel, bird, and deer in his neighborhood, as they all congregate to his backyard for their morning meals.. he still manages to show up for me at every doctors appointment, or health scare that causes me to need him, he still manages to send money to his little sister who lives states away, he still manages to treat his cats with the very best care and love, and would gladly give the shirt off his own back to a total stranger without a second thought. I am graciously asking for any help to offer to my partner, I am doing this without him knowing as I know he would rather wither away than ask for help; but I will not let him. Please, donate what you can, and help spread the word. Thank you.
